16 ounce can poured into a Duvel tulip glass.
L---Impenetrable, dark brown (almost black) color. Fluffy, khaki head with very good retention and excellent lacing.
S---Strong coconut. Coffee is prominent, too. Light chocolate. No cinnamon, though.
T---Follows the nose almost exactly. Only difference is the cinnamon shows up. Coconut tastes artificial.
F---Medium+ mouthfeel. Plenty of carbonation, a little surprising for ABV.
O---An overall very good beer. Only drawback is that the coconut seemed artificial.

A 16 oz. can poured into a clear glass liter mug. It's a lovely looking stout. A deep black coffee brown with a sustainable tan head. Plenty of lacing remains in the glass. The label says that Irish Potato Candy Stout is brewed with coconut and cinnamon. The coconut is there in the aroma. Delightfully, neither of those flavors overpowers the taste. The hints add to a very nice stout base only in a complementary way. For some reason stouts seem to be quite agreeable to the addition of extra flavors, such as these. When not over played, they make a nice change of pace.

Pleasant sweet imperial stout, starts with a malty nose that has hints of coconut. It continues to add more coconut and cinnamon that trails off to a cinnamon finish. A little thin for a stout with minimal head and a bit of lacing.

Great looking stout deep dark blackness with a full 1/2 inch of mocha froth. Smell is very sweet full of Chocolate liquid candy and cinnamon. Taste is balanced but way less sweet full of shaved coconut slight nutmeg and a mild Coco finish. Body is also nice silky smooth medium to heavy easy to sip. Overall this is an excellent imperial Stout well worth the price tag!

Light carbonation, above average body,overall a very nice feel to this beer
Aroma is heavywith roasted coconut, roasted malt,coffee,mildly sweet chocolate
Taste is toasted coconut forward,followed by roasted malt and chocolate tastes like chocolate coconut candy but not sickly sweet. The roasted malt and some coffee bitterness really creates a nice balance

Nailed the potato candy flavor, but this one a bit too strong for me, a sweet sipper for sure. I'd like to see a softer version of this one.

Pours a jet black color with two inches of dark tan head. Tons of coconut throughout, dark chocolate, bakers chocolate, roasted and burnt malts. Not getting much cinnamon or vanilla.
A good beer; my wife and brother loved this more than I did but a good stout none the less.
